some OF the pOllJlcal leauers vi
the organized soldiers of the North
have become as frantic over this
proposition as if a new armed re.
bellion had broken out and was
,-about to plunge the country into
bloody war again. The President,
seeing that his very proper purpose
had given offense to the weaker
brethren, and doubling, on con
sideration, the extent OF his au-
thority, has had the manly courage
to recall his proposition, and it
may be hoped that this ridiculous
furry will sGbside.
In point of fact, there is nothing
to furry about. II both sides are
sensible enough 70 exchange their
trophies of the war in shape of
captured battle flags, it would be
highly creditable all around ., but If
there are objections on either side,
let the flags alone. They are harm
less now, whether in Washington,
Harrisburg, or Richmond ; the
issues they represent are ineIora-
bly, settled and universally accept
ed, and the flags can remain in one
place rs wesl as another.

striking and weighty than his presentation

portance to Americans of their Uome

and irresistible logic, he demonstrates that
what might work well in European coun1
tries, where labor is cheap and their limit

unfavorably in vastly extended new,
country, with varied climates. soils and
productions, enjoying the free commercial
union OF many states with $4,000. 900 of
people, the consumption per capita being
double that of Europeans.
He calls attention to the marvellous and|
instructive fact that "the whole amount
OF our export and import trade together,
has never, think, reached $40 .0oO, 000, 00O,

Country School Teachers.

Much complaint is now being made
against some of our young men for
unfair dealing with young ladies in re-
gard to the country schools. We
would like to be convinced that these
complaints are unfounded. but from
the evidence, we Judge there is cause
for the complaint. No one will for a
moment believe that all the young
men teachers are guilty, but the
wrongs of few cause all to be looked
upon with suspicion. One young man
is charged with taking money to Sc
cure school for young lady, and
afterwards reports that no lady teach
ers are wanted, Another volunteers
to secure a school for a young lady,
causes her to remain quiet at home
while he distributes the schools Sc
cured, and leaves her without one.
But the worst we have heard of yet
is that class that hangs around the
committeeman and speak disparaging-
ly of lady teachers. The young man
that deals in such a cowardly way is
unfit to teach children. We would
like to see all the young men and
young ladies have employment as long
as they want it, but it is decidedly
wrong to speak i'll of another in order
to secure work yourself. Then it is
wrong to insist on a committeeman to
give his school to you when you know
he has promised it to another, and the
other is depending upon it.
